Contemporary Gynecology (BP)

By Lifang Liang, OMD, PhD, LAc.

In this new text from Dr. Lifang Liang, practitioners will find the latest information from both Western and Chinese medicine on most major gynecological diseases. Throughout the book Dr. Liang presents Chinese medical treatments to use either as stand-alone therapy or along with Western medical therapies that patients may be using. The entire book is infused with and based upon Dr. Liang’s extensive clinical experience of over 35 years.

“We in Western medicine have much to learn about what practitioners of Eastern medicine have long practiced. Her practical strategies and case examples serve as a model for balancing Eastern and Western medical care. My congratulations on Dr. Liang’s achievement-an excellent book.”
-Philip E. Chenette, MD, Pacific Fertility Center, San Francisco, CA

“In this comprehensive text, Dr. Liang shares her medical knowledge in the often daunting challenge of women’s reproductive medicine. She thoroughly reviews each major gynecologic diagnosis and treatment with the thoughtful expertise that only 35 years of practice can provide. Many of my patients have benefitted from the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. It is with great honor that I present Dr. Liang’s latest labor of love.”
